5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary Accessory, August 10, 2005

By	J. Saye - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sony MPK-WA Marine Pack for DSCW1/W5/W7 Digital Cameras (Electronics)

Excellent, excellent product. My husband and I purchased the Marine Kit to take on our recent Carribean vacation. It was a camera saver. Not only is it good for under water photography, it is necessary for sailing trips when you never know where the next splash will come from or even hanging out on the beach. I can't tell you how many times we had to take sand off of the lens. With the high humidity of the tropical islands along with the trade winds the sand and salt on the case at the end of the day was incredible. All we had to do was rinse the Marine Kit under cold water and any worries we had just washed down the drain. By the way, just in case you're wondering the kit had no effect on our pictures, we got the same quality and clarity whether shooting inside or outside of the Marine Kit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great housing for Divers or anywhere on or in the water, October 3, 2005

This housing is like all other Marine Pack housings from Sony. Very well made, comes with extra O-ring and lubricant. For the Money, this is an excellent choice for divers and anyone playing on, in or around the water or snow.
I have had several of these housings for different cameras and all have served me well.
They will use the Sony flash and video lights when used with the Marine Pack arm and camera mounts.
A simple wash down with fresh water will be all that's needed to keep your housing clean.
All my photos have been clear with no problems taking pictures through the housing.
All controls are easily accessed with the water tight buttons on the top and rear of the housing.
A great insurance policy for butter-finger picture takers. If dropped in the water the housing floats for easy retrieval.
Buy it, you'll like it...:)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product!!!.....needs a lens cap, April 4, 2006

By	Mad Dog (Buford, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sony MPK-WA Marine Pack for DSCW1/W5/W7 Digital Cameras (Electronics)

I have used this item many times in the snow. Dropped, fell, and have gotten it completely covered by snow. It is a must buy for the sony cameras. The only complaint is that it needs a lens cap! If the lens gets scratched at all, your screwed! $130.00 down the drain. I have called sony and tried to see if they had an alternative that would work with the size of this lens....no luck.
Great product, get it, you'll need it. But be carefull of the lens!
